Product Description

Affordable 6Gb/s SATA Solution

Why an eSATA Card? Are you planning to connect external storage to your computer? There’s a good chance the storage enclosure will have two or more interfaces from which to choose, including FireWire®, USB, and eSATA. Your computer has USB ports, and may have FireWire ports, too. So if you can just plug into your computer’s existing ports, why use an eSATA card? Consider the fact that the eSATA interface offers significantly superior performance to that of FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 interfaces. Sonnet’s Tempo™ edge™ SATA 6Gb/s ExpressCard/34 is an affordable solution for adding fast eSATA connectivity through an adapter that practically disappears inside your computer.

Fusion F3 & Fusion D400QR5Sonnet’s smallest 6Gb/s SATA host controller features a single eSATA port. Through its single port, Tempo edge SATA 6Gb/s ExpressCard/34 can connect single drive enclosures (great for solid state drives [SSDs] or standard hard drives), or multi-drive storage systems with integrated hardware RAID controllers, like Sonnet’s Fusion™ F3 2-drive system or Fusion D400QR5 4-drive system.
